A likeness of Melania Trump has been plastered on billboards for a Croatian language school, in a bid to show students what they can achieve by learning English.
The Američki Institut school in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, features a painting of the First Lady in front of an American flag, to inspire its students.
Accompanying her image are the words: ‘Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English.’

Founder of the school, Brett Campbell – originally from Boston – told local newspaper Vecernji List: ‘We are witnessing the great wave of emigration of Croatians who are looking for their fortunes in Anglo-Saxon countries, such as Ireland, Canada, Australia etc.
‘If you are well-versed in English, in these markets you can go very far. And we can help you.’

Born Melanija Knavs in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, Mrs. Trump was raised in Sevnica by her father, a car salesman, and her mother, a pattern maker at a textile factory, while the nation was part of the Communist-ruled former Yugoslavia.
Melania left in her late teens to embark on an international modelling career, which would eventually lead her to New York where she became Trump’s third wife in 2005.
A year later, she took US citizenship and has only rarely returned to Slovenia, where her parents still own a house in Sevnica but mostly live also in the US, according to local media.
She is fluent in Slovenian, English, German, French and Serbian.
Ivis Burić, the woman behind the campaign, said: ‘People can have all sorts of opinions about Melania Trump, but they can not deny her the success she deserves and her knowledge of English.
‘Not everyone can become one of the most powerful women in the world.’
